(Wild Rose, Small Pink Rambling - 10) In this bee's eye view of the small pink
rambling rose, we can easily see the five slightly heart shaped leaves, the
single pistil, and the numerous stamens. This kind of beauty needs to be
preserved, for far too long a time, unscrupulous people have been trying to
convince us that the evil and cruel things we do are actually good. If someone
deliberately causes pain or suffering to a fellow human being or to an animal,
or destroys the environment, it is evil, and the time has come for us to
recognize this fact, and put an end to it. It's time we begin to praise the
gentle, kind and compassionate acts we witness, and follow these examples. It's
truly time for all of us to pause to "smell the roses" and profit from the
experience. It's time for us to make Isaiah's words a reality: "They will not
hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the
knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea." (11:9)Previous -

Presented here are just a few of the countless components of God's creation.
Just as we cannot have human and animal life without water and plants, neither
can we have lasting peace without love and compassion. It is our hope and
prayer that this series will motivate people to live and act in a cruelty-free
manner; that we would no longer hurt or destroy each other, the animals or our
environment.
